Nottingham Forest vs Fulham Prediction 15 March 2026
π Can Nottingham break their losing streak against the Cottagers? VΓtor Pereira's side are in poor form and are currently one of the main candidates for relegation to the Championship. Fulham, although typically a mid-table team, have suffered two consecutive goalless defeats, making them the underdogs in this away match. But is this justified, considering the head-to-head statistics?
Head-to-Head
π In their last six encounters at the City Ground, Fulham have suffered just one defeat while securing five victories. The first-leg match ended in a narrow win for the Cottagers (1-0), extending their successful streak against the Tricky Trees to three games. The Londoners have proven to be a very challenging opponent for Nottingham.
Head-to-head statistics Nottingham Forest - Fulham
Nottingham Forest Team Overview
Vitor Pereira's team currently sit 17th with 28 points in their tally. The "Foresters" have lost 4 out of their last 5 matches across all competitions. The only successful outing was an away draw against Manchester City (2-2), where they managed to come from behind twice during the match. However, looking at the match statistics, the result seems more like a stroke of luck rather than a fair outcome.
Nottingham's most recent match ended in a shocking defeat to Midtjylland (0-1). This marks the second home loss to the Danish side this season for the "Foresters." They outperformed their opponent in most key metrics, surpassing one expected goal for the first time in four matches, yet it still wasn't enough to secure a win. Nevertheless, a lighter schedule might benefit the team. Securing their Premier League status is far more crucial than potential success in the Europa League.
Match Results: Nottingham Forest
Fulham Team Overview
The "Cottagers" sit comfortably in the top 10 with 40 points. Marco Silva's squad finds themselves in familiar territory: they aren't battling relegation, yet a European spot seems out of reach. They're the quintessential mid-table side without serious ambitions. Away matches have proven challenging for Fulham-they've won just 1 of their last 5 Premier League outings.
Meanwhile, the Londoners have suffered two consecutive home defeats without scoring: a 0-1 loss to West Ham in the Premier League and another 0-1 setback to Southampton in the FA Cup. We believe this slump is directly linked to the injury of the team's main creative force, Harry Wilson. The Welshman is pivotal in their attack, leading as both Fulham's top scorer and assist provider this season (10 goals and 7 assists).

Nottingham Forest
π VΓtor Pereira was understandably disappointed with the result of the European competition match and offered a concise comment: "If you create chances and fail to convert them, at some point the opponent might score. And that's exactly what happened," said the Portuguese coach.
β The visiting team faces a challenging personnel situation. Chris Wood, Stefan Ortega, John Victor, Willy Boly, and Nicolo Savona are all ruled out. Dan Ndoye and Jair Cunha are doubtful due to recent injuries. This number of absences seems critical in the context of their battle for survival.
Fulham
π Marco Silva after the unexpected FA Cup exit: βA completely disappointing result for us, the football club, and most importantly, the fans. We can talk about many, many things. Overall, it was a very bad day that should make us look inward and move forward.β
β The only absence is Kevin, sidelined due to surgery. Attacking leader Harry Wilson should be ready. The midfielder stated: "I'm fine. After the match against Tottenham, I had some minor issues, which took about a week to recover from, but now I'm back in training and hope to be ready for Sunday's game and definitely fit to play for the Wales national team."
π¨ Yellow Card Prediction
Samuel Barrott has recently adopted a more lenient refereeing style. In 17 Premier League matches this season, the Englishman has shown 60 yellow cards, averaging 3.5 per game. However, over his last five fixtures, his average is the lowest in the league at just 2.6 cautions. These current stats suggest that he prefers not to intervene unless absolutely necessary.
Nottingham Forest averages 1.21 cautions per home match, while Fulham receives 2.43 on the road. We believe that Fulham's aggression alone won't be enough to make Barrott hand out many yellow cards. Betting on under 4.5 yellow cards seems a reasonable option.
β½ Goal Prediction
The logic suggests both teams might score. Fulham consistently concedes away goals (in 14 consecutive matches) but also regularly finds the net against Nottingham. The "Forest" rarely scores at home, failing to do so in 4 of their last 5 Premier League home games. However, given that the hosts desperately need points and the visitors are in a slight slump, both teams to score (yes) is a logical choice.
π© Corner Prediction
Nottingham averages 6.43 corners per home game, while Fulham earns 4.07 corners away. The "Forest" actively utilizes the flanks and will likely press from the start, especially if they need to come from behind, so we want to focus on them. We suggest betting on over 4.5 corners by the home team. Forest has surpassed this mark in 13 of their last 15 Premier League home matches.
Editor's Prediction
Nottingham Forest enter this match in a deep crisis, plagued by significant personnel losses and a dreadful head-to-head record. It's hard to find any arguments in favor of the hosts. Fulham may not be in the best form, but they have the advantage of freshness and an almost fully optimal squad, with Harry Wilson's return boosting their lineup. Marco Silva's side will be better prepared physically due to the absence of European competitions in their schedule, so we don't see the hosts as favorites here. We predict the Cottagers will secure a 2-1 victory, and we're opting for a cautious bet - Fulham will not lose.
